Hong Kong Style Egg Noodles, Springy in Minutes
These are thin, springy Hong Kong style egg noodles, the kind you find in a Cantonese noodle shop. They cook fast and hold a firm, bouncy bite instead of turning soft, which makes them a quick base for a full meal.
Boil them for a couple of minutes for wonton noodle soup or a brothy bowl, or parboil and stir-fry them for lo mein and chow mein with vegetables and your choice of protein. They also crisp up nicely for a pan-fried noodle cake topped with a saucy stir-fry.
A quick weeknight noodle bowl comes together in well under fifteen minutes with these. Cook only what you need, and rinse briefly after boiling if you are stir-frying so they do not clump.
Find these at Asian grocery stores across the United States. See our Where to Buy page for a store near you, or contact us about wholesale and case orders.
